Ive said this several times before, but the most shocking unexpected scene Ive seen "recently" would be Lex Luther's dog eating the other dog in Superman Returns. Truly one of the biggest WTF moments ever in a film.

RP: Yes, that was a huge shock, especially for those of us who saw "Carrie" in a big theatre when it was first released! There was pandemonium in the house!!! And while I can't think of any of them off the top of my head, that was used repeatedly by other filmmakers over the years since! Remember the end of Brian DePalma's "Obsession" the same year? (1976)

Nah, not all that young, King-ster - and what made that Payoff Scene so powerful was the quietly understated, definitely not hit-you-over-the-head Hollywood approach Mr. Jordan so masterfully orchestrated ...
